Almost Time

Just under 5 hours to go. Not too much to report about yesterday, i was just relaxing most of the time and met the other players at the evening meal.

The Game is 10,000 starting chips with a 50/100 starting level and a 30 minute clock. Ive got a kinda plan but really i dunno what im gonna do until im playing and take each situation as it arises. 7 of the 10 played a $50 sit and go last night for fun after the meal and i actually think i got some good information from it but sadly i also luckboxed a lot and just hope it isnt wasted on the small game only.

Payout is so top heavy it could lead to some interesting decisions, im praying for a big stack early or mid game to enable some hard bubble bullying but just have to see what happens. Also with effectively "2 pairs" of players (bro/bro & bro/sister) it could mess with my head a bit but hopefully enough im experienced enough to actually take advantage of that if possible.

Im expecting a fairly tight table for the first few levels at least and may attack early if i can get some linked cards rather than total rags just to get some good image.

Without being cocky i know im the favourite, but only a marginal one as anything can happen in any individual game and cos of that i havent put any pressure on myself as "anything is a bonus" will be what i will be trying to use to relax myself throughout it.

Right its now 7:21am (k/o midday) and despite my stomach giving me grief (not through nerves yet) i think i need to eat something to set me up for hopefully a long game. I will probably go to the sauna and swimming pool too after to relax for an hour or so.

Heres to a good finish, but its good to know ive got the Aussie Millions afterwards to look forward to anyway regardless of todays result.

Hoped to catch you earlier and I think as I write this you will have just started.

Anyway, all the very best m8 and hope you are on the right side of variance to get the massive result that will define your year.
